Sustainability
Non-Toxic Home + Body 🌿Â
We started this business because we wanted to create safe alternatives to products we love using. All of our products are free from:
- Phthalates
- Parabens
- Sulfates
- Petroleum
- Animal-derived ingredients
MANUFACTURING
Wax
We use 100% soy wax. The soy wax we use is produced from American-grown soybeans (a renewable resource). We do not use paraffin wax - paraffin wax is derived from petroleum, originally crude oil, which is an unsustainable and non-renewable resource. Studies have also shown that paraffin wax candles emit toxic fumes when burning, while soy wax is non-toxic.Â
Fragrance Oils
We collaborate with multiple high-end fragrance houses based in the United States to create our scents. We source only phthalate-free fragrance oils, which means they are non-toxic to burn. Research has shown that phthalates may be harmful to one's health.
Wicks
We use only cotton core wicks primed with vegetable oil, as all the components are sustainable - cotton and vegetable oil. Other wicks on the market include metal core wicks which use tin, aluminum, or lead - non-renewable resources. However, lead core wicks were banned in the United States in 2003. There are also wicks available that are primed with petroleum, which we do not use for the reasons listed above about paraffin wax.
Vessels + Boxes
We work with glass vessels. All vessels can be reused and repurposed. The glass vessels can be recycled once cleaned.
All boxes are made of paper and can be recycled.Â
